About Me

My photo
Delta, British Columbia, Canada
I took very early retirement from teaching in '06 and did some traveling in Europe and the UK before settling down to do some private tutoring. As a voracious reader, I have many books waiting in line for me to read. Tell me I shouldn't read something, and I will. I'm a happy, optimistic person and I love to travel and through that believe that life can be a continuous learning experience. I'm looking forward to traveling more some day. I enjoy walking, cycling, water aerobics & and sports like tennis, volleyball, and fastpitch/baseball. I'm just getting into photography as a hobby and I'm enjoying learning all the bits and bobs of my digital camera. My family is everything to me and I'm delighted to be the mother of two girls and the Gramma of a boy and a girl. I may be a Gramma, but I'm at heart just a girl who wants to have fun.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I did sneak out of the convention early to go for a massage. Then I'm going to indulge myself in an afternoon nap. Back to the convention tomorrow but only for the morning and then it's a long weekend! So much to be thankful for, including lots of great new friends!

Oh, sorry Leslie!!!!!!

It was Marilyn singing, again.

And that seems to be the only version of the Birthday song she knows.

I agree you do have an angelic voice and now you and Clickgirl are in trouble, 'cause you will have to teach us all to do that audio thing!!!! Love you!!!

CJ Check over on SB blog site - the one before those 2 extra blogs came on tonight. I put in an explanation of the difference between Can and American Thanksgiving. I'm glad you're interested. Now you have ME intrigued about who discovered America! I always thought it was Christopher Columbus. Explain please. :)

Hi Leslie
Sorry I missed your birthday,hope you had a very good one, loved your audio. Since you are teacher maybe you could give us a few lessons in French. Its been more than 40 years since I was in school. Live is just getting better.

Hi CJ Thanks for the info about CC and AV - I'll have to check that out. I remember an old skipping rhyme we used to sing (Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue, in 14hundred and 92).

I've had a couple of requests for the recipe so I'll get it out and put it on the blog for anyone who wants to try it out.

Man O Man - is RR ever keeping us on tenterhooks!!!!

Hey Leslie! I haven't been over here for a while ... but was spending a little time 'Blog Hopping' today ... and wanted to check out these pics and stuff that several people have mentioned over the past couple of weeks.

I LOVE the audio recording! Good for you on figuring it out! And I loved hearing your voice. I don't think you have an 'accent'. But I don't think I have one either (ha ha). I was tired when I did the first one (on my Photo Blog) ... as I did that while I was sitting in the Chicago Airport ... and I was pretty wiped out. So many some faint 'Southern-ness' came out. : )

Anyway ... it was so good to hear your voice and see your fun pics! And YES - we will definitely have to do the Cruise thing! I've always wanted to do an Alaskan Cruise ... so will be saving up for that!

You take care! This is an exciting weekend for everyone ... and I am thinking about all of my friends who are part of the SB venture! Fingers crossed ... and thinking positive thoughts for all of you!

Warm regards,

Brenda
